by Juan Ignacio Maralejo:“Having said that, most of my friends and I have an austereideology,maybe a recurrent longing for nature and a simple lifestyle.Not exactly hippie-ism, but being aware of the advantages of limitations.It’s well known that you get a bit more creative when you have to struggle more...I prefer the vulnerability of trying to do something honest.”

I have suffered the 2001 crisis and others before, as an Argentinian I am very used to crisis.I do believe that having less you have to be more creative.I write about deco and fashion in my blog, I love to see beautiful homes but I do not need having everything I see.What I need more is contact with nature, so the 2001 crisis came with an insecurity situation,kidnaps, robberies, every week a family member or a friend was robbed or suffered a express kidnapping, that was the worst part because we can not use public space and we live with fear, at that moments I used to think -Well, at least we ¡are not in Irak.About having to shop less and cut other things I did not care, I was to used to economy ups and downs.
